How to Change Backup Location on MailEnable Backup utility

Post by JPowers »

How do I change the Backup Location of the "MailEnable Backup and Restore Utility - V1.5"?
It is currently set to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mail Enable\BACKUP\Sets\"

Server: ME Enterprise 5.11
OS: Server 2003

It's as easy as setting a registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mail Enable\Mail Enable\Backup Directory = "D:\\MailEnable"

NOTE: MailEnable will automatically add "Backup\Sets" to the path from that registry key.

Don't forget that if you're running a 64-bit version of Windows you'll need to run regedit out of the Windows\SysWOW64 directory.

By the way, I've never found any documentation on this. I found it by using the SysInternals Process Monitor tool.
